Joseph Calleja has been nominated for the Gramophone Artist of the Year Award.
Every year, the Gramophone Classical Music Awards celebrate an artist at the height of their fame.

Other nominees are: Stéphane Denève, Natalie Dessay, Daniel Barenboim, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Isabelle Faust, Philippe Jaroussky, Magdalena Kožená, Andris Nelsons and Andreas Staier.
